Put up a line or two from a song for people to guess.

For example:

My eyes are so cloudy I cant see you

MC Hammer?

Honeyroar · 27/06/2020 09:45

Someone like that, I’d say!

I had no illusions
That I’d ever find
a glimpse of summer heatwaves
In your eyes

Just goes to show you don't give a damn
